Question

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point (1,2)

A. y = 6x - 11
B. y = 3x - 1
C. y = 6x - 4
D. y = -2x + 6

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The goal is to find the y intercept because you have already are given the slope. The slope is technically 6/1. So if you subtract

y value: 2 - 6 = -4

x value : 1 - 1 = 0

then your y intercept is (0,-4). You subtract your x values and because it is zero that means when you subtract your values you know that whatever number get would be the y intercept.

Hope this helps!!
